El hijo de la novia (2001)

English title: Son of the Bride.
Synopsis: A restaurant owner is stressed and overworked. He has a heart attack. His mother has Alzheimer's. His father wants to have a church wedding, after all these years.
Appraisal: The synopsis above is not stylistically exemplary, but I'm tired and writing synopses for bad movies like this one is not my cup of tea. I'll try to be short in my review. This is a ridiculous film, that thrives on fabricated emotion and some out-of-place humor. The actors and actresses are talented, but the situations they have to enact are often of an embarrassing kind.
Rating: 28
